Poem: Hand writing on the wall
She thought she saw last night

She sees instead in the light of day
It’s just the blood left by her clawing fingers

Hot summer sun beating on her long white sleeves
Hiding the scars of her bathtub surgeries

She desperately walks through the grimy city streets
Anonymously, she takes her place in the cubicle next to me…...
